Hey there! Sorry for the troubles hope this helps!


Is the phone asking for the passcode? Or is it asking for an Apple ID password to activate it?


If it’s a passcode, it will have to be erased following this article:


If you forgot the Passcode of your iOS device, or it is disabled:

If it’s actually asking for an Apple ID password to unlock, follow this:


Turn off Activation Lock:

Hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions, happy to help if I can!
